About this listen

On her way to the village after a blustery storm, Angela Bowling stumbles upon a baby bird blown from his nest. 'Oh goodness!' she exclaims. She scoops him up and off to home they go. She names the bird Augustus, wraps him in shawls, takes him around in a stroller, and feeds him only the best: warm milk, creamed carrots, and chocolate eclairs.
After all, Augustus is now her Loveykins, isn't he? Under Angela's coddling, Augustus grows bigger and bigger, until at last he needs his own special garden shed. But after another fateful gale, Angela is in for a shock when she discovers her loveykins finally spreading his wings.

Critic Reviews

'Ideas about childhood and growing up are obviously major themes in the book but are cleverly woven into the story, avoiding sentimentality. There is gentle humour in both the text and especially the illustrations in this book.' (Inis)

'Blake's drawing has an almost reckless vitality and a distinctive, mercurial line – which he seems only to have to fling at an idea in order to retrieve a spontaneous, expressive image.' (Guardian)
